Widow of dead antisemitism scammer lionised by Zionists calls him “pathological liar”

Pete Newbon was a Northumbria University academic and a director of infamous pro-Israel smear campaign ‘Labour against Antisemitism’ (LAAS). Newbon became infamous after he posted an image of then-Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn reading to children. The book in the image had been doctored to make it appear that he was reading an infamous antisemitic text, instead of Jewish author Michael Rosen’s popular ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ children’s book. After Rosen objected to the antisemitic photoshopping, Newbon catastrophically tried to sue him. Newbon himself was being sued — along with two associates — by lawyer and writer James Wilson for endangering Wilson and…

People on the right often complain that people treat them like they’re not intelligent. The problem is they often encourage that perception. For an example of that in action, here’s prominent right-wing journalist David Atherton sharing videos of artificial intelligence (AI) toddlers complaining about ‘woke’: the right do love making up fake scenarios and getting really angry about them https://t.co/sOzHjVIKwS — Rory (@RoryofWatford) August 17, 2026 Listening to AI toddlers The above AI video features a series of well-spoken toddlers in various scenarios: Complaining about being sent home for not eating halal meat (“what the bloody hell has happened to Britain?”).…

It’s time to criminalise Britain’s West Bank settlement trade

  • Post last modified:18 August 2026

For decades, the UK government has consistently stated that ‘Israeli’ settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories are illegal under international law. Yet it has taken no action to prevent British trade and financial dealings with businesses operating in the West Bank. Then, in June, former Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper strengthened the government’s guidance to businesses, but still stopped short of introducing a ban. In a statement, she said: “British citizens and businesses should not conduct any economic or financial activities in illegal Israeli settlements… We believe that settlements are a fundamental barrier to peace and a flagrant breach of international law, and…

Burnham’s reported oil plan is an insult to our intelligence

In 2026, the UK has faced record breaking temperatures and droughts. We’ve also faced record wildfires; including one which burned down houses in the town of Stourbridge. Add to this water shortages and hosepipe bans, and it’s pretty clear the UK isn’t ready to deal with climate change. In response, you’d expect Andy Burnham to rethink his reported plan to drill for more fossil fuels. Instead, the man is apparently going to insult our collective intelligence: NEW: Andy Burnham is set to delay approving new North Sea oil and gas drilling due to the "optics" of doing so during the UK…

On 14 August, 41-year-old academic Jason Arday was found dead in Battersea, London. His death followed a relentless media blitz which occurred despite Arday being unknown to the wider public. This expanded awareness of Arday has now led to a vigil in which thousands of Britons travelled to Trafalgar Square to mourn his passing: So powerful to be in Trafalgar Square at the vigil. Rest in Power, Professor Jason Arday. pic.twitter.com/Z2PtLsf1rT — Zack Polanski (@ZackPolanski) August 17, 2026 There was one person who wasn’t mourning, however, and that was Nathan Cofnas – the self-described “race realist” who launched the attack on…

The War He Leaves Behind: Keir Starmer’s Dark Legacy of Dissent as Terrorism

  • Post author:
  • Post last modified:19 August 2026

Sir Keir Starmer has left office almost without noise – and, astonishingly, only now. He remained Prime Minister despite misleading Parliament and the British public about his knowledge of Peter Mandelson’s ties to convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. He remained despite integrating Peter Thiel’s Palantir mass-surveillance and war apparatus into the heart of Britain’s public services. He remained despite bringing Britain to the brink of a nuclear crisis with Russia. And he remained despite his government’s direct participation in the genocide in Gaza. But Starmer’s most consequential legacy is one that outlives any daily news cycle. His premiership inaugurated a paradigm…

Cruel Irish government’s 63% refusal on Palestinian short-stay visas

  • Post author:
  • Post last modified:18 August 2026

Micheál Martin’s obnoxious Irish government has combined two of its cruel fixations – anti-immigration and pro-Zionism – to deliver a shocking refusal rate for Palestinians seeking visa entry to Ireland. Figures released in July, which cover the period for 2026 up to May 31, show that only 81 applications for short-term stay were granted, while 139 were refused. That means the government refused 63% of applications from people suffering under apartheid, occupation, ethnic cleansing and genocide. Note again that these are just for the short stay ‘C’ visa, which only permits stay in Ireland for 90 days, to engage in tourism…

Former US congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has said that the Trump regime is “discussing using nuclear weapons on Iran in strategy meetings” in its desperation to reverse its loss in its war of aggression on Iran. And she insists that she has the information on Trump wanting to nuke Iran from iron-clad sources: Yes you read that correctly. It’s real. I’m not speculating; I know. The US’s war on Iran at Israel’s behest – some would say order – has left the world circling the drain of an ever-deepening and completely avoidable oil crisis. Trump claims he expected a quick victory.…

US-Zionist imperial dominance tightens on Venezuela and region

On 3 January 2026, the US committed one of its most brazen acts of international law-breaking to date. Its special ops forces captured, abducted and imprisoned socialist Venezuela’s president Nicolas Maduro. Maduro’s supposedly interim ‘acting’ president, Delcy Rodriguez, appears mostly to have been acting in the US empire’s favour. Still, popular communes across Venezuela remain resistant to capitulation. National Assembly deputy Mario Silva called for Chavistas to mobilise, arguing that since 2026 executive power is in the hands of the US. Certainly, the US-led regime change and piracy operation in Venezuela is yielding great dividends for certain interests. Among these are…

Spanish refereeing is set to take a new step towards expanding the use of AI technology in the 2026–2027 season, following the announcement by the Royal Spanish Football Federation and the Technical Refereeing Committee (CTA) that artificial intelligence will be introduced into the ‘Tiempo de Revisión’ (‘review time’) programme, with the aim of helping to select the most notable refereeing incidents worthy of analysis following each matchday. The decision forms part of the Referees’ Committee’s drive to enhance transparency and education, and to explain refereeing decisions to fans, clubs, players and coaches, following the programme’s launch last season to review the…

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) proxy war in Sudan has killed and displaced millions. The UK and the rest of the international community have let the war roll on unabated. Former members of the UAE’s Colombian mercenary corps have now recounted the siege and the fall of the city of El Fasher in 2025. UAE: complicity One soldier, named as Luis, described the aftermath of the assault in horrific detail: The air was thick with flies, drawn by both the dead bodies and the heaps of trash.

Commemorating the 81st anniversary of Japan’s unconditional WWII surrender in August 1946, Japan’s political leaders honoured a monument to known war-criminals. The infamous Yasukuni shrine commemorates thousands of war-criminals who served in the brutal Imperial Japanese Army. Leaders included the Prime Minister, defence minister and various cabinet members of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party. Among those to visit the temple was the Japanese defence minister, Shinjiro Koizumi, in charge of Japan’s armed forces. Three other cabinet members visited the Shinto shrine. Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi has previously attended the war-crimes shrine. This year, however, Western media said she skipped, “did not…

Rescue organisations found at least fourteen bodies in the Mediterranean last weekend as European governments wage a ‘hard border’ war on desperate refugees. Search and rescue organisation SOS Méditerranée discovered 11 bodies in international waters of the Med on Friday 14 August 2026. The group also reported at least two “violent interceptions” of refugee boats. The following day, a Sea-Watch monitoring aircraft Seabird 1 and the rescue organisation RESQSHIP spotted three more bodies floating in the water. Hunted alive, forgotten when dead After reaching the bodies, the rescue vessels Sea-Watch 5 and Nadir found that the extent of decomposition and the…

Numerous UK police forces are now using Palantir technology for surveillance and tracking. The far-right genocide-linked tech firm has been capturing UK public bodies at pace – and shows no signs of slowing down. The new Good Law Project and Computer Weekly investigation claims: that these projects involve, “tracking, monitoring or surveillance”, as well as data on “racial or ethnic origin, political opinions” and even people’s “sex life”. As the Canary has repeatedly warned, Palantir’s close relations with the Labour government have assured the firm’s foothold in Britain: The UK military is currently locked into a multi-billion pound contract with Palantir. The statement makes…

Cameroon claimed their first Women’s Africa Cup of Nations title with a composed 3–0 victory over Malawi, completing a tournament run defined by organisation, efficiency and a clear attacking edge. The result, achieved in the final against a Malawi side making their debut at this stage of the competition, marked a significant moment for Cameroonian women’s football and underlined the team’s steady rise across the past cycle. The scoreline reflected the balance of the contest: Cameroon were sharper in midfield, more decisive in the final third and rarely troubled defensively. Marie Ngah Manga struck twice, each finish illustrating her instinct and…

Skwawkbox first revealed Clarke’s conduct – and Graham’s attempts to have recordings of it destroyed – several years ago, but new and exclusively leaked union transcripts of those recordings puts flesh on the diseased bones of the pair’s behaviour. And now, more leaked documents explode the union’s attempts to deny, deflect and smear.

On 16 August, Reform UK announced its intention to abolish Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) Personal Independence Payments (PIP). As we noted, this was an ill-thought out move for Reform, because many of its own voters are reliant on DWP PIP. As one Labour has explained, however, there is a reason why Reform thinks it can get away with this: I canvassed a disabled voter in Crook recently who told me she was voting Reform because the first time she applied for PIP it was rejected. "I had to fight damn hard for my PIP" she told me, "but foreigners…

The Scuttling of the Armistice: Israel, Lebanon, and the Geopolitics of 1967

  • Post last modified:17 August 2026

The June 1967 Arab-Israeli War dramatically altered the geopolitical landscape of the Middle East, leaving Israel in firm military occupation of the Sinai Peninsula, the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and the Golan Heights. Israel’s subsequent strategic decision to retain control over these conquered territories – rather than restore them to Egypt, Jordan, and Syria – fundamentally severed the alignment between the 1949 General Armistice Agreements (GAAs) and the reality on the ground. The Post-1967 Legal Vacuum Following the second week of June 1967, three of the four armistice demarcation lines established in 1949 lay deep behind Israel’s forward military positions.…

No justice, no accountability. Just a laughable “self-regulator”, run by the very same billionaire bosses who released the wolves. It’s a disgrace. It’s rigged. And it’s time we stopped letting these billionaire media moguls get away with murder. Public backs new press regulator by a landslide Forget the noise.
